Mitch Chilson asks who has the best spinning kick in ONE, featuring Anatoly Malykhin

Could Anatoly Malykhin have the best spin kick in ONE Championship? It’s likely a question you’ve never asked yourself, but one man did. Former ONE competitor turned commentator Mitch Chilson had some fun with the ONE roster in an attempt to find out who possesses the best spin kick in the business.

In the video clip posted to Chilson’s Instagram, multiple fighters including Paul Elliott, Guto Inocente, Eduard Folayang, Kevin Belingon, Thanh Le, Geje Eustaquio, and Anatoly Malykhin show off their spin kicks.

“Who’s got the best spin kick in ONE? @pauljelliott92, @gutoinocente, @the.landslide, @kevinbelingon, @thanhlemma, @lakay.gravity, @anmalykhin. Did I miss anybody?”

Check out the Instagram post below:

Many of the fighters featured in the clip competed in ONE Championship’s final weekend of fights in 2022, including Anatoly Malykhin, who had perhaps the best performance at ONE on Prime Video 5.

Stepping into the circle with undefeated Dutchman Reinier de Ridder, the Russian juggernaut delivered an incredibly dominant performance, finishing ‘The Dutch Knight’ in the first round to capture the ONE light heavyweight world championship.

With two world titles now around his waist, Anatoly Malykhin certainly has options available as far as what comes next. Will the long-awaited title unification match against Arjan Bhullar finally happen or will Malykhin go after Reinier de Ridder’s remaining piece of ONE gold?

“Paul elliot had the best angle and Guto innocente had the best technique with his spinning hook kick in my opinion“

“Tough!! But I’m gonna give it to Kevin Belingon because I witnessed that iconic spinning kick"

“Guto got skills but gotta go w/ my TKD bro Thanh."

“Guto's one is the most crisp."

“It's not Anatoly that for sure"
